Is your troop or crew wanting to do more high adventure? Would you like to learn how to engage your youth using high adventure? Want ot have a great time and at the same time learn from experienced scouters? Sign up now to participate in powder horn coming this September. I’ve attached the form below.

This years theme is Fear is not a factor and I will need all troops to come up with a challenge for the scouts. This can be something like the feet in the cooler challenge to see how long they can do it or the put your hands in these brains challenge and my favorite the hidden snake in the box challenge. Lots of challenges are out there. As this is something that needs to be tracked for appropriateness I will ask that you submit the challenge to me via email or at a round table so I can get it approved by the committee prior to the camporee.

Calling all webelos, If you would like to go camping with the scouts and venture crews this is the perfect opportunity. We will have an area set aside for you to camp and you can use this time to check out troops and the scouts in them. Cost is the same and you will get a patch to boot.

If you know someone who has been involved in the district and you would like to honor that person please send the information for that person to glutch@gmail.com. Deadline is prior to the October roundtable. If you would like to say something regarding this person to the voting members please be at the October roundtable.

Trailblazer District Awards is the form you use to nominate someone for awards in our district. If you know someone that is deserving please fill out the form and get it to us. Awards will be given out at the district dinner.

For the leaders of the troops I need you to turn in a practical demonstration you will be giving in cooking or cooking gadgets and a game for post demonstration that you will be hosting. I’ve added a document with some ideas that you can pull from. Camporee – Iron Chef . This is just a document I found online and is to get your creative juices flowing so come up with a wild and fun cooking oriented game.

This years camporee will be at SR2 in the Buchanan springs camp site on April 1st thru 3rd, Yes I know it’s April Fools day, I promise this is no joke. Troop 144 will be our camporee’s service troop.
